Film Styles

          As many of us are aware, there are different types of films and each film has its different style. The first film I will be talking about is Coach Carter. Coach Carter is about a coach that moved schools and will be taking over the new coaching position. Unfortunately, the new team he will be coaching aren't used to being winners and therefore, need lots of help. The first part of the film was about the coach teaching these thugs how to first become young men and second, talented basketball players that win. This took lots of hard work, dedication, and much discipline.
          This film had a unique style. In most films like this one you are used to the new coach coming in and changing everything and transitioning this team into champions. Although this was the case for majority of the movie, there was a litlle contrast in the end. Normally, the team will have been undefeated the entire season and continued on to win the championship. However, in Coach Carter the team went undefeated the entire season and made it to the semi finals. In the semi final game the Oilers were getting killed and made a historice comeback. Unlike most movies, instead of making this comeback and winning the game, the team lost in the final seconds.
          This to me was an interesting film style because in the end the story relays a message back to its audience. It says that it is good to be great but you won't always be the greatest. After the team had lost, the community still had their signs held high and still congratulated the Oilers. The players then came to realize that they didn't only make a change in their winning, they made a change in themselves and in their community.
